Description

Michel Delon - Casanova, My Venetian Years - From the back alleys of the San Marco district where he was born in the spring of 1725 to the Plombs, the prison in the Doge's Palace from which he escaped at the end of October 1756, Casanova was Venetian par excellence. Until the age of fifteen, the young man was a hopeful of the Church and received minor orders. Even then, his loquaciousness charmed the young parishioners. Protected by noble Venetians, Malipiero and then Bragadin, he went from seduction to seduction, the city lending its backdrops and shadowy corners to his quest for the pleasures of love. - Citadelles & Mazenod - 2018
